Yeah, mostly listened to WMMR and WYSP as well. WIOQ was a bit quirky but they sometimes did some cool stuff. Ah, the good old days of real radio stations. Now it's just big corporate stuff with rigid 200 song playlists and DJs that aren't even in the city the staion is in.
The first time I ever heard of Run DMC was when I was at Live Aid in Philadelphia. They were one of the earlier acts. It was like a hundred thousand white kids all going "What the fok is this?"
I still listen to that album. That first one was the sh!t! I'm surprised they didn't get snowballed or insanely booed
This was the Metallica record where I lost interest. Listen to "Fight Fire with Fire" off Ride the Lightning, then listen to "Enter Sandman". The magic was gone, replaced with production dollars, IMHO!
They play it like they really mean it: [video=youtube_share;IQyjSoA7r6k]http://youtu.be/IQyjSoA7r6k?t=39s[/video]
I know what you mean, but IMO this was their last legit album, but I was young when it came out so what did I know? Such a shame what they turned into. Sell outs...
Up to and including Ride the Lightning - Cliff Burton RIP Justice and Black album - Cliff Newstead Sometime after that...Trujillo
Ok...so I cal bullshyte on this whole tread Who doesn't buy complete shyte for their first muzac My earliest memories are tapes: Start with my uncle making me tapes from thriller & bad (age 5-6) Debbie Gibson (she was hot) Then on to Paula Abdul Then Boyz to men, color me badd, guns n roses lies, & Michael Jackson dangerous (age 8-11) There was also some shyte azz poison in ere, maybe even some motley crew and more shytey azz gnr w/use you ill 1&2 Then Wayne's world changed my life and the 90s exploded Pearl Jam - 10 Red hot chili peppers - blood sugar sex magik Nirvana - nevermind Soundgarden - badmotorfinger Tool - undertow (bmg special) Blind melon - "" Beastie Boys - check your head Then a reach to go deeper Fugazi - in on the kill taker Pixies - Doolittle (Columbia deal all the way) Cure - wish & disentigration Rage against the machine - "" Green river Mudhoney Primus - frizzle fry & pork soda Tad The clash - all, especially London calling Quicksand - slip & manic compression Rancid - lets go The smiths - all Sonic Youth - dirty Sunny day real estate - diary Weezer - "" Dinosaur JR - "" & where you been & green mind Then there was the dark years...don't get me wrong, they are good bands and they were all good live (some them all) but their music is really uninteresting: Bad religion Nofx Pennywise (the fokin worst...not even good live) The offspring The get up kids Jets to Brazil The weakerthans Saves the day And many more Then there are the good, but not interesting Minor threat Black flag Born against Gorilla biscuits Youth of today Jawbreaker Then there was a reawakening Modest mouse - lonesome crowded west & building something out of nothing Karate - the bed is in the ocean The anniversary Red hot chili peppers - californication John Frusciantes - to record only water for 10 days At the drive in - in/casino/out The Mars Volta - deloused in the commatorium (the only fully good one they did) Eliot Smith - all Thao - all Anyway...be more honest or at least interesting with your first buys and the trip you've take
First album I bought was Rolling Stones "Goats Head Soup" when I was about 10. I really liked the song Heartbreaker that was playing on the radio all the time.
I can definitely preciate the stones....just can't put them on to listen to them - but I think I do get them! Jus like Beatles, Zeppelin, & sabbath
I don't think I ever bought another Rolling Stones record, except Exile on Main Street. When I was 17 living in Ocean City, MD my roommate bought "Some Girls" that came out that summer and played it non-stop. Drove me NUTS! That song "Miss You" is seared into my memory in the worst possible way. Crushed any remaining tolerance for the Stones.
It was not an "album", but two 45's, instead. I had told my parents that I wanted a portable record player (I still have it, and it works like a charm). I knew they were giving it to me as a gift, because they later made inquiry as to which two songs were my favorites, at the time. The first one (which I still have) was: [video=youtube;jNeQtVCguxE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNeQtVCguxE[/video]
